Daily Horoscope for Capricorn Summary

The craziness ensues today as we begin another segment of Mercury retrograde ("Oh joy!"), which is going to last up until the 29th. In the holiday spirit, this has the potential to inspire a litany of terrible presents, crappy sweaters, stuff that doesn't fit so well; the Grinch's heart would shrink 4 sizes. "So Bud, how can I avoid doling out mega-cash for stuff that might cause my family to wonder if there's poison in the Christmas Cookies?" You have to think in terms of functionality right now (at least until the 18th, when Mercury backs into Sag). What do they need? What is going to help them do their daily tasks better? These are the types of things you'll have more insight into buying for right now. But slow down and think it out first. Window shopping is bad news with Mercury retro, but researched shopping is better. Anything glitzy and showy that you might buy (hoping to make an impression of some sort) today and this week is probably going to flop when it comes down to it. If you want to get that kind of stuff, wait until the 18th. It's the functional stuff (computers, work chairs, phones) that you'll want to tackle now, and again, make sure you do your research on the stuff to make sure it's quality.

In non-holiday shopping areas, the next few days are mega-potent as Mercury, Mars, Pluto and the Node are all together in the big sky. It's madness, but it's also madness that aims to get things done. Some of you are going to feel compelled to jump ship from what you're currently doing, perhaps with this idea that you can do a lot better somewhere else. While this is very true, and transformations can be highly favored at this time (in addition to the fact that you'll be compelled to use all of your energy to make transitions smoother), you shouldn't do it without some kind of plan in place first. If a better opportunity comes along, strongly consider it, but if you're just hoping for something and not finding it, either look harder or stick with what you have. You don't want to position yourself in a spot with no current available options. Best of luck.

The Daily Horoscope for Capricorn

It might be easy to second-guess yourself based on assumptions you might make about what others are thinking. Let this go; if they have legitimate problems with you, those will eventually come to the surface and you can deal with them, but otherwise your worries are solely the realm of the world of fantasy. If you can get over such worries, you should be able to move ahead with a great deal of steam. You'll feel well equipped to take a few chances here (as you'll be confident about your abilities), and even your miscues here will be seen as steps on the road to success.

...Show some Love...

Daily Tao

The highest rulers, people do not know they have them
The next level, people love them and praise them
The next level, people fear them
The next level, people despise them
If the rulers' trust is insufficient
Have no trust in them

Proceeding calmly, valuing their words
Task accomplished, matter settled
The people all say, "We did it naturally"
